Clean, fuss-free stay amid nature.

Friends who have gone to Sepilok in Sabah, East Malaysia, have all recommended me to stay at this place.
First, it's affordable - under Singapore $35 a night, with a simple buffet breakfast.
The room is large (stayed at the Hornbill wing). Good, large and firm bed. The floor is clean and one can walk around bare-footed. The airconditioning is quiet and one can manually control it. There are enough lamps in the room, a wooden writing table, coffee table, side table and a rattan chair. There is a clothes hanging rack and a couple of electrical socket points. There is a pantry in the lodge's common area where filtered water - hot and room temperature - is provided. Only two packets of green tea are given in the room. There is no TV anywhere in this B&B. You are required to commute with Nature, LOL.
The bathroom is clean, of adequate size but the shower's water power is not very strong. Only two small bars of soap are provided, so take along you other toiletteries. The two towels are of acceptable cleanliness.
All the windows have mesh netting to keep the insects out. This B&B sits at the edge of the marvellous Rainforest Discovery Centre, about 200m away.
There is a small fan-cooled restaurant with good views of the surrounding gardens. Cats and kittens lay about or play around your feet.

The staff speaks English and Malay. They are also helpful and accommodating. Food is halal and depending on the cook of the day, the food can be quite good. If you need to set out early, you can request for packed breakfast boxes of bread, a hard boiled egg and two small bananas.

Birds start to sing in the trees as early as 6 am and during the night you will be entertained by the calls of the gecko, cicada, frogs and other insects.

There is a mix of accommodations, from hostels to chalets.More

Stayed for 3 nights in the Hornbill Lodge (air-con room). Nice big room with a hot water shower and balcony. Hot and cool water available from the lounge area in the hornbill lodge which was handy. Staff were friendly and helpful. Complimentary breakfast was simple but nice (toast,jams,noodles,bananas,tea and coffee). We had dinner at the B&B every night, food was good and reasonably priced. The B&B is a 5 min walk from the RDC and a 15-20 min walk from SORC.

We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely return :)

I stayed here for only one night in order to visit the orang-utan park and Rainforest Discovery Park. I spent the night in one of the private A/C rooms with balcony ('Hornbill Lodge') and was very happy with what was provided - clean, comfortable room with modern fittings. Balcony was a great place to relax in the evening and even came with an outdoor roof fan. The staff at the homestay were very friendly and helpful. Extras I liked included WIFI in the dining/reception area, close proximity to Rainforest Discovery Park and express-bus booking service (Receptionist was able to quickly book my bus seat over the phone and issued the ticket on the spot). A great, reasonably-priced place to stay in Sepilok.

Great location - from Sepilok B&B, it's about 5 minutes walk to the RDC (400m) and 20 minutes walk to Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Center (1.2km). The grounds are lovely ... very green and lots of trees. There's even a lotus pond within the compound. Very nice to wake up and hear plenty of birds chirping in the early morning.

We had a twin room with a fan and attached bathroom, located in First Lodge of Sepilok B&B (RM68 for one night). It was one of the older buildings and in need of a spruce-up. The bed was comfy enough. They do have other types of accommodation but these were not available at the time. Breakfast was a simple fare - toast, jam, kaya, coffee, tea, fruits (bananas & papaya) and fried noodles. As the B&B was conveniently close to RDC, we had lunch at the B&B after our morning visit and returned to RDC in the afternoon. The food was average and cooked to order.

The staff helped call a taxi for us to get to the airport - it turned out to be a private vehicle and cost us RM40. We were probably overcharged but we did not want to be late.

This was my 3rd visit to Sepilok B&B, and I have been happy all three times. The location is perfect, nice a peaceful place close to all the Sepilok attractions. I went to the Rainforest Discovery Centre, which is only 400m down the road. Got a nice big clean room with aircon, just what I needed as it was exceptionally hot and humid. The reception was good, but the kitchen service was very slow, which of course you may expect at B&B's. The local food served there was ordinary, but OK. Highly Recommended.
